Happy Wednesday everyone!! Today is December 13, 2023, it's a B - Day and it's a wonderful day to learn!
Birthdays: Happy Birthday to: Jaxon G!
Today is.. NATIONAL COCOA DAY: December 13th ushers in a celebration worthy of the winter holidays with National Cocoa Day. What better way to warm up after a cold day outside?#NationalCocoaDay.
We make hot cocoa with cocoa powder, heated milk or water, and sugar. However, Americans often use hot chocolate and hot cocoa interchangeably, sometimes causing a bit of confusion. There is a difference between the two beverages. We make hot chocolate by using ground chocolate containing cocoa butter. We mix it with hot milk, and it is drinking chocolate.
Welcoming Ritual: Would you rather go to a restaurant or cook at home?

Rooms also allow messages to be sent back and forth between the school and home! If you have any questions, please email or call Mr. Hoffek
